I need to add my special thanks to (Rita) Ferrara, the woman with a heart and smile as big as the world who put the program together. Lamarca couldn't have said it better. Sometimes when you live in a place, and see the same people all the time, you can start to take them and their contributions (as friends, musicians, and organizers)for granted -- part of the landscape of your world. All the visiting Mudcatters, with their great appreciation for the people, the music, and the event, have reminded me how very lucky I am to live here, to know such great folks, and to have such an incredible wealth of music surrounding me. And doubly lucky, now, to have a new group of "old" friends. Thanks.
